Mission and Vision
Zephyrs Music Conservatoire (the “School” or “ZMC”) is set up by a team of dedicated music enthusiasts who carry the vision of raising the standard of music education and performance in Hong Kong to the next level.

The School’s mission is to provide comprehensive music training to students of different backgrounds, ages and playing ability; creating a conducive environment to nurture their passion for music and creating opportunities for them to come together to learn, acquire and share musical experience as an integral part of their lives.

Apart from focusing on structured quality music training in instruments, the School strongly believed in the importance of playing in an ensemble and explore every opportunity in bringing students together to play a repertoire of enriching ensemble music.

To further broaden students’ horizon in music and reaching out to the community, the School also carries the vision to organize a range of music events, e.g. master classes, regular recitals and concerts for the public, overseas music exchange programs.
我們的辦學使命和理念
輕韻音樂學院是由三位對音樂抱有熱誠的音樂導師成立,他們致力提升香港的音樂教育及演奏水平到另一個境界。

學院其中一個使命是提供一個合適的學習環境,為不同背景,年齡和演奏能力的學員給予全面的音樂培訓,以致能培養他們對音樂的熱愛,以及給予他們互動的機會去分享和交流學習音樂的心得和經歷。

除了重視有系統和高質數的樂器訓練,學院亦深信合奏的重要性.因此,透過不同機會讓學生們能體驗演奏室樂的樂趣。

為了進一步擴闊學員的音樂視野和讓他們接觸我們的社區,學院希望為他們舉行不同的音樂活動,例如:大師班,學院演奏會,公開演奏會及海外音樂交流計劃。

Courses
ZMC offers a variety of courses. Individual instrumental lessons are specially tailored to meet student’s specific musical goals. ZMC offers lessons for piano, flute, oboe, clarinet, violin and cello. Our teachers provide coaching for chamber ensembles. In addition, our Zephyrs Flute Ensemble provides an opportunity for intermediate and advanced adult flutists to rehearse and perform a range of repertoire.

Pre-admission Interview
To understand the personality, playing ability and expectations of our students joining the school, we conduct pre-admission interviews with students and their parents. This would allow us to tailor make our teaching approach to meet the specific needs of the students.

Periodic Assessments
To allow parents and students better understand the performance of our students, ZMC conducts periodic assessments and debrief on the students’ playing techniques, performance of pieces and practice methods.

Mock Exams
Mock exams are conducted for students who are preparing for exams of professional music organizations. The mock exams will simulate the conditions of the actual exams, preparing the students to perform during the actual exams.
課程
為配合學員的不同興趣和需要,本院提供鋼琴、長笛、雙簧管、單簧管、小提琴和大提琴的課程。此外,本院為不同類別的室樂合奏團提供指導訓練。另外,本學院成立了長笛合奏團,可讓中級及高級程度的學員有參與表演的機會。

課前面試
在課程正式開始之前,本院會先與學員和家長進行一個簡單的課前面試,目的是希望了解學生的性格,學習原因和音樂背景,然後再評核學生的音樂水平,透過面試,本院便能為學員編制最合適的課程計劃及分配最合適的導師。

學生進度評核
要讓家長和學生更深入了解自己的學習進度,本院約三至六個月會進行一次學生進度評核,檢討學生目前的音樂技巧,學習的曲目以及練習方法。

模擬考試
在學習古典音樂的過程中,學員需要參加多次由國際認可的音樂機構所舉辦的考試。為了讓學員感受考試的氣氛及評估他們在正式考試前的水平,本院會舉辦術科和樂理的模擬考試,希望藉此能給予學員更多考試的意見,從而減輕他們的壓力和提升他們考試的自信心。

Beyond Classes
Events / Masterclasses
Music appreciation should not be restricted within classrooms. We believe that students need to see and hear more than what they have in classes. ZMC looks into opportunities to organize music events, e.g. workshops and masterclasses, for our students. Invitation to attend these events will be extended to our teachers and parents.

Recitals and Performances
One of the greatest joy in music learning is to share our music with others. We understand that students may not have many opportunities to perform and thus the School organizes recitals and other performances for our students to express themselves.

Summer Music Courses and Events
ZMC organizes interesting and creative music courses and events outside the normal curricular so that our students could take the opportunity to pick up new skills/interests during summer.
課堂以外
專題討論/大師班
要培育學員全面的音樂才能,除定期的個別或小組課程外,本院還推行不同類型的音樂活動給他們參與,包括邀請本院以外的音樂教育家或演奏家進行專題演講或大師班。這些活動不單為學生而設,有些更適合導師甚至家長參加。

音樂會
大多數學生除了因參加音樂考試或校際音樂節,可給予他們表演的機會並不多。為了讓學員能充分表現他們應有的演奏實力,本院會於校內及香港其他演奏場地舉行不同類型的演奏會,包括獨奏和合奏等。

暑期音樂課程/活動
在悠長的暑假中,學生可能因參加其他的課外活動而減少練習的時間或減低學習的興趣。有見及此,本院於暑假期間會推出富趣味性的暑期音樂班,亦會開辦一些多元化及具創意的音樂活動。

School Facilities
ZMC believe that having the correct room settings and instruments of good quality are vital for music learning. Each ZMC room is spacious and equipped for its specific purposes, e.g. ensemble and recital rehearsals, theory and instrument classes. In addition, ZMC uses upright or grand pianos for teaching.


學院設施
除了有專業的導師和全面的課程外,本院對樂器和房間的質數亦十分著重。在鋼琴課程中,本院採用的都是高身直身琴或三角琴。房間方面,為了避免學員在上課時感覺到有壓迫感,房間面積都十分闊倘;而配合各項課程及活動的需要,本院的房間面積及配套均有所不同,例如:樂理室,樂器綵排室,演奏室等。
